Two Iowa conservation groups are working together
to turn a 506-acre site into a natural area that will be transferred to the
state to manage and allow for public use.
The Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation and The
Nature Conservancy in Iowa purchased the Green Hill Ranch just south of Council
Bluffs in 2017.
The groups have raised about two-thirds of the $3 million needed to fund the
project through grant funding and private donations.
Ownership and management of the site will be transferred to the state
Department of Natural Resources once fundraising is complete.
Joe McGovern is president of the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation. He says the
area will serve as a haven for birdwatchers, hunters and hikers.
